The City of Quinte West joins Belleville in action to improve the quality of the local environment, by participating in the first annual ‘Change for the Environment Challenge’.
Citizens in Quinte West and Belleville will be asked to take some of the loose change they have lying around at home or in the car, place it in any bag and on April 30, May 1, 2 and 3, 2009 drop that loose change off at anyone of a number of convenient locations in their community.
